Justin is an amazing host, with decades of experience as a traveler. This makes him a great person to talk to and share stories with. He is also an amazing cook and there was always something delicious to eat at his place. Other volunteers are also great people, little gestures like waking up early and preparing coffee for everyone or turning each others heaters, give feeling that volunteers care for each other. The work itself isn't hard or complicated, Justin can explain what has to be done.

We helped Justin clean out an old house he wants to renovate. He told us what needed to be done, answered any questions we had and then let us work in our own rhythm. Justin was open minded and easy to be around. He cooked vegetarian food for us and encouraging us to play with his kids. We had a great time at his house and recommend staying with him.

Our experience with Justin was great. We had a private room and he prepared vegetarian food for us. He explained what needed to be done and encouraged us to take as many breaks as we needed. He made us feel really welcome. Justin was nice to be around and helped us plan our trip to Plovdiv too.
